Your responsibilities while treating injured workers

Health care providers must recognize WorkSafeNB's role and
responsibility to adhere to the requirements and principles of the
Workers' Compensation Act in managing a worker's
compensation claim.

It is the responsibility of health care providers to:

Submit quality and timely clinical reports.

Recognize the importance of the principle of early and safe
return to work for injured workers to their overall well
being.

Be aware of their role in assisting patients and their
employers in a safe and early return to work and stay at work, as
outlined in the Canadian Medical Association's policy and adopted
by the New Brunswick Medical Society.

Work co-operatively with WorkSafeNB staff to ensure that
injured workers receive appropriate treatment.
